wifi: mac80211: don't use rate mask for scanning
[ Upstream commit ab9177d83c040eba58387914077ebca56f14fae6 ]
The rate mask is intended for use during operation, and
can be set to only have masks for the currently active
band. As such, it cannot be used for scanning which can
be on other bands as well.
Simply ignore the rate masks during scanning to avoid
warnings from incorrect settings.
